Year 5 EnglishShuffled Sentences

In the questions below you must rearrange the words so that each sentence makes sense.

However, one word in the list does not fit into the sentence. Mark the word that does not make sense in the sentence.

Example!

went my after friends with buy shopping breakfast I

In the example above, the sentence 'unshuffles' to read 'after breakfast I went shopping with my friends'. There will be no punctuation or capital letters (other than proper nouns or words like 'I') to help you in these questions, so don't try searching for them for clues!

Once the sentence has been unshuffled, we can see that the word that doesn't fit in this example is 'buy'.

Tips for unshuffling sentences

Try to think ACTIVELY about the order of the sentence - don't just stare at the words on the page! First, see if you can work out the SUBJECT of the sentence. This is the person, place, idea or thing that is being or doing something in the sentence.

If the above doesn't work, try to start pairing verbs with adverbs, and nouns with adjectives (revise parts of speech if necessary). Grouping words together in this way will help you start to form the sentence.

Look for a word that seems 'odd'. For example, if most of the verbs are past tense but one is present tense, this may be your answer.

There may be two conflicting words that wouldn't often be together in a sentence. For example, 'morning' and 'evening' wouldn't often be in the same sentence, so one of them could be the odd word out.

Try numbering your words in the correct order as you work out the sentence (e.g. put a '1' above the first word, a '2' above the second, etc). This will stop you having to start all over again if you lose your place!

If you do all of the above but you still can't work out the word that doesn't fit in the sentence, don't waste time worrying about it! You probably won't have much time to complete these questions in an exam, so try to make an educated guess and then move quickly on.

Decimals

We use decimals when we are dealing with numbers that aren't whole numbers. They're the same thing as fractions, just written in a different way.

You need to understand place value before you can deal with decimals effectively. See the chart below.

Multiplying and Dividing Decimals by 10, 100 and 1000

When you need to multiply or divide a decimal by 10, 100 or 1000, you simply move the numbers left (for mutliplication) or right (for division) to make them bigger or smaller. Although it will look like it has moved, the decimal point stays in the same place.

Example!

3.21 x 10

H T U . t h th

3 . 2 1

3 2 1

Example 2!

4.5 ÷ 100

H T U . t h th

4 . 5

0 0 4 5

Hundreds Tens Units

3

3

Tenths

2

0

Hundredths

2

Thousandths

3 0 0 2

The decimal point separates the whole numbers from the

fractions

This number means '3 and 2 tenths'

This number means '3 and 2 hundredths'

This number means '3 and 2 thousandths'

When we're multiplying by 10, we need to make the number 10 times

bigger. Therefore, every number 'shifts' 1 place to the left (2 places when we multiply by 100, 3 places when we

multiply by 1000)

.

When we're dividing by 100, we need to make the number 100 times smaller. Therefore, every number 'shifts' 2 places to the right (1 place

when we divide by 10, 3 places when we divide by 1000).

In this example, we use zeros as 'place holders' so we can see the value of each number.

Don't forget!

When you're multiplying a number, the number should

get bigger.

When you're dividing a number, the number should

get smaller.

Make sure you check this after completing every question to

ensure you've moved the numbers in the right direction.

Year 5 Maths

Tip!

Look at the digits of each number from left to right to work out

which one is bigger or smaller.

E.g. 2.2 and 2.04. Both of these numbers have 2 units, so now we need to look at our tenths. 2.2 has

2 tenths, whereas 2.04 has no tenths. Therefore, 2.2 is bigger.
